Enjoy an immersive, local-led guided tour with ExperienceFirst through the heart of Paris along the banks of the Seine river. Our first stop is the iconic Pont Neuf, the oldest bridge in Paris, but you’ll also see the Square du Vert Galant (a hidden garden at the western tip of Île de la Cité), the Pont des Arts, the Pont du Carrousel with its view of the famous Louvre Pyramid awaits, the 17th-century Pont Royal, and more.
Along the way, you’ll learn about the places and stories that have shaped Paris into what it is today. One iconic example is the Musée d’Orsay, a former railway station built for the 1900 World Fair, now housing a vast collection of Impressionist masterpieces like Monet, Manet, and Renoir. Add on the optional Orsay Museum entry to see the incredible art within this cultural treasure.
Another optional upgrade, a Seine river cruise is the perfect way to finish your tour. Your ticket is good for a year, so take your cruise the same day or come back later.
